Season 2 of I Want To Sing Gospel continues and it is getting tougher each week - it's even getting more difficult for Lindelani Mkhize to eliminate. The most unfortunate part of last nights episode was seeing all the girls at the bottom. Nombulelo, Samkelisiwe and Nonsikelelo almost got eliminated only for Lindelani to save them. It is clear the guys are more popular than the girls.
The Top 8 finalists had to sing their All time favourite songs - here are my observations of the finalists:
Nombulelo Tshefu - 8/10
Her performance of "Great is Thyfaithfulness" was beautiful, this girl can sing and the judges liked her performance. She is my favourite and I will be voting like a lunatic, I want to see her in the final three.
Nonsikelelo Shandu - 4/10
As I said last week, I don't see her winning this competition....uyatswina qha into ayenzayo. Her performance of "I love the Lord" was average and if she wasn't at the bottom with the other two ladies then she would have gone home.
Samkelisiwe Mvelase - 6/10
She performed "Kungomusa Wakhe" and she has a beautiful voice - I think she has to give more.
Mvuselelo Radebe - 5/10
I wasn't impressed with his "We need a Word" rendition, it felt like he was trying too hard to impress....he really needs to slow down. The more he goes up, the more he loses it.
Nqobile Ngidi - 3/10
He doesn't even deserve the three I scored him, only the public votes are saving him from elimination. This guy is singing crap shem.
Nhlakanipho Cele - 10/10
Absolutely a stirring performance of "Lenani iZulu", I was moved by his performance...tears just fell when he was singing. I am glad he was not at the bottom, very powerful performance. He deserves to be in the final three.
Thabani Ncube - 5/10
There wasn’t anything in his performance that really stood out to me. He has a beautiful voice but last night he did not come to the party. The public adores him but his performance of "You are Holy / Through it All " wasn't up to scratch, he also tried too much.
Malcom Manuel 7 / 10
I am starting to like him more, his performance of "Alabaster Box" was beautiful even though I felt at some point he was doing too much. A solid performance overall.
At the end of it all, no one was eliminated and Lindelani said he still wanted to hear more from the ladies. I don't like it when my favourites are at the bottom and I am voting...a week before last Nhlakanipho was at the bottom and now Nombulelo.
He he he....I noticed now that they are selling the tickets for the shows at R20, you no longer have to email ronald@toxmedia.co.za.
